Movie Reviews of Wyatt Earp (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: A near flop
Summary: 3 Stars
When I am asked to sit down and watch an almost four hour movie, I want to be impressed. I was not impressed with Wyatt Earp, though I did enjoy it and would recommend it to others. The film suffers most from Kevin Costner. Here's a guy who has thought it his calling to make a string of 3 to 4 hour movies. Postman, Waterworld, Dances with Wolves, and Wyatt Earp add up to a bunch of time, and a big so what. All of the movies are good and enjoyable, and equally not great.
What must Costner have been thinking? I can imagine. "Well, I've made so many long, long movies, but none of them have truly been westerns. Sure, The Postman was close, and many of my movie buddies were in it with me. Dances.... had Native Americans and the U.S. Cavalry, but it was soooo esoterically lost that it would be hard to call it western. So, I felt a need, a desire, a calling to make a western, so I jumped when Wyatt Earp was conceived." Surely, he knew that Tombstone was in the making. Or was he so OUT of touch that he just didn't see it coming. Was it the pressure of making a tv movie that caused him so much stress? Heck, he didn't even look that convincing when he portrayed Lt. Dunbar, even though we know he was actually Kevin Costner.
Dennis Quaid hands in an admirable job as Doc Holliday, but nowhere near Val Kilmer's status as a Doc Holliday. Nonetheless, he was incredible, and easily a highlight of the show. Gotta go. My eyelids are heavy, and I need to see about getting some
Summary of Wyatt Earp (Two-Disc Special Edition)
This massive, in-depth study of the dark Western icon comes off with mixed results. Trying to capture the whole life, (warts and all) of the lawman-criminal-brother-fortune hunter, director Lawrence Kasdan gains points for sheer scale, giving us a rich epic painted in dark colors with gritty settings. But the visual poetry and extensive foreshadowing ruin the dramatic drive. Some scenes have as much impact as stalker movies; you're just waiting for someone to get knocked off. As Earp, Kevin Costner is not afraid to look rumpled and play colorlessly (as in The Bodyguard), but it saps the energy of this 3-hour-plus film. The only relief is Dennis Quaid as a droll Doc Holiday, a much more engaging character. New faces Linden Ashby and Joanna Going (as an Earp brother and a lover, respectively) are solid finds, though the remainder of the female cast is barely given anything to do. Best is the first half, with Costner, as hip as he was in his Silverado days, going through a series of ups and downs until he accidentally finds his profession. Great set design (Ida Random) utilizes dozens of similar settings that always look distinctive. Recommended to fans of the star and the genre, but the story never justifies its length. --Doug ThomasWesterns DVD Video
